The Kaifeng Mansion will use copper coins to buy the industries of craftsmen in Kaifeng, and the craftsmen can take copper coins, take their families, and travel with the army, and use copper coins to buy food to eat on the road. Yes, the craftsmen who moved out, could not take the grain.

The Kaifeng Prefecture's example explains the reason for the emigration: there is no longer enough food in Bianliang, and there is no money to buy food. As if to prove this, the grain merchants raised the price of grain to 3,500 wen and one stone, which is equivalent to the period during the siege of Bianliang.

This led to another kind of panic: Bianliang could be besieged for the third time. Those who are willing to go south to Jiangnan have already followed Zhao Chen, and most Kaifeng residents feel that Cangzhou is still closer than Jiangnan, and there is General Hu, who has made a great name in recent years, as a guarantor. The first fleet escorted by Zhang Heng, about 3,000 households, was quickly assembled.

Liu Ziyu watched the fleet leave on the dock, returned to Kaifeng Mansion, his father's residence, and said to Liu Ju: "Hu appeases the good students, if they really want to move people away, they should be allowed to go south with the official family." ”

Liu Ju did not answer his son's complaints, but he also had puzzlement in his heart, this time to assist the relocation, if it were not for the left-behind ruling Zhang Chengbo to push, Kaifeng Mansion would not cooperate.

"I don't understand." Liu Ju sighed, "After all the craftsmen have been moved, Huyan Geng still has to repair the city wall." ”

The Bianliang city wall is tall and thick, made of rammed earth. It can be said that the world's largest city, in the Kaifeng defense of some damaged some, plus the wind and sun, rain in the past two years, for the city wall can withstand the gold soldiers again blow, Hu Yangeng has no bottom in his heart, he arrived in Bianliang, he suggested that the city wall should be overhauled.

Moreover, during the last battle to defend Bianliang, the trench system was dug down, because the Yellow River breached, which also exposed the weakness of being prone to flooding, and the trench system also had to be renovated to increase the drainage capacity.

Hu Yangeng didn't know that Liu Ju's father and son were talking about him behind his back, and he was dealing with official business with Gao Lu in the past few days, which was quite harmonious. As a result of his reminder, lime and coal ash were scattered throughout the city of Bianliang to prevent the occurrence of a major epidemic after the flood.

Time slipped away day by day, west of the river and north of the Guangji River, and the overflowing river slowly receded. The weather is hot, and although it makes people sweat, it also makes people feel alive and hopeful.

In the palace, Zhu Fenglian ordered a pergola to be erected, called Zhu Fengying into the palace, and a group of emperors who stayed in the palace to cool off by the pool. Wang Yanshu served on the side.

"Go get a stool and sit down." Zhu Fenglian commanded.

Wang Yanshu excused herself, went to get a stool, and sat next to Zhu Fengying. A group of emperor warblers and warblers Yanyan laughed and waited for the palace maid to bring ice water up.

Zhu Fenglian looked at this group of emperors, except for those who were married, with Zhao Chen going south, there are only more than ten emperors left in Bianliang who are still in Bianliang, who are widowed, and Emperor Zhao Furou, who is not married. Zhu Fenglian said with a smile: "Hu Yangeng is also interesting, he asked for marriage for his three generals, and became the concubine of the three sisters of Yifu, Renfu, and Xianfu, but he never found one for himself." ”

When the emperors heard this, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. The daughter of the emperor's son of heaven, there is no possibility of being a concubine, Hu Yangeng is already married, and he can't be a concubine. Zhu Fengying said this unreasonably. But Zhu Fengying is the queen mother, and when she says this, no one dares to accuse her of being wrong.

At this time, the chamberlain came to report, Zhang Zhongshu, and Liu Zhifu asked to see him. Zhu Fengyingqi said: "Since the emperor went south, all the ministers in the capital have cooperated seamlessly, and they never need to disturb the mourning family, what is going on today." The babies sit here and mourn the family to see. ”

After Zhu Fenglian left, Zhu Fengying whispered to Wang Yanshu: "The imperial sister is living a very comfortable life." ”

Wang Yanshu said: "You don't know the suffering of the Queen Mother at night, after I come, I can relieve one or two, the princess should be anxious, we will tie the saint to our boat." Add a bargaining chip to the future of our family. ”

Zhu Fengying sighed: "What kind of future to talk about, I just hope that he can grow up safely." ”

Zhu Fenglian came to the Rui Si Hall and asked the two ministers what was going on.

"Mizhou anti-thieves, Du Yan and Li Kui are going all the way west, and they are now making trouble in the Yanzhou area. The pacification of Jingxi Road made Zhang Qu only have enough troops to defend a few major cities, and sent people to Bianliang to ask for help. ”

"Do you want to send troops out of Bianliang?"

"Sage Mingjian."

"This kind of matter, please discuss it with Zhang Shumi, and the mourning family will be approved."

Zhang Chengbo and Liu Ju left the palace and went to the capital hall to discuss with the remaining privy Zhang Shuye and asked Zhang Shuye to transfer troops. Zhang Shuye muttered: "At present, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers in Bianliang, if the gold thief really calls, 30,000 people are far from enough, let alone send troops abroad." ”

Everyone discussed: "Why don't you transfer the box army to attack." ”

"Where's the Xiang Army?"

Uncle Zhang said: "I heard that Zhang Qing, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Dongchang Mansion, and Dong Ping, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion, are known for their bravery. ”

After writing the transfer paperwork, Uncle Zhang stamped it and said, "The messenger is coming." The writer kept his head down and didn't move.

"Song Jiang, what do you have to say?"

"The villain is willing to run for the prime minister. Thought it was driven. ”

"Gongming, after so many years, you still don't give up."

"Xianggong, the villain received the grace of Xianggong, was able to recruit peace, kept a life, thought about it day and night, repaid Xianggong, my emperor Song is in danger now, Du Yan and Li Kui still dare to rebel and make trouble, the villain is anxious, and he can't put down this thief."

"Li Kui? I remember that when you were a thief in Liangshan, the guards around you were called Li Kui, and later in the battle of Hangzhou, it was reported that Li Kui was killed? ”

"After the Battle of Hangzhou, Li Kui was nowhere to be found, and he heard the same name, but I don't know if it was or not."

Uncle Zhang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Song Jiang, at the time of employing people, the old man will give you a chance, you and Wu Yong together, send the documents to Nanjing Guide Mansion, and ask Zhang Anfu to dispose of the camera, and you and Wu Yong will stay under Zhang Anfu to participate in the military." ”

"Thank you for your grace."

Song Jiang took the paperwork, called Wu Yong, and the two set off overnight. Wu Yong asked, "Why is my brother in such a hurry?" ”

"I am a caged bird and a fish in a net, this line is like a fish in the sea, a bird in the sky, not bound by the cage net. Don't let Zhang Shumi repent. ”

Wu Yong sighed: "My brother is bad, the two of us have no soldiers at hand, and the matter of Liangshan has been a long time ago, even if the name is reported, the heroes on the rivers and lakes may not be recognized." It's better to learn from the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun, and be a general under the command of the general. ”

"Li Yun is just a plasterer leader, I heard that he is now the chief of cement Shi, and he has been sealed a military attache under the rank of Zhengjiupin. If you are me, how can you be happy? ”

"But my brother doesn't have a single soldier on his hands."

"I read in the military newspaper that Li Kui, who rebelled in Mizhou, acted like my black bull brother, so I can't say that it was him."

"It's been fifteen years, and the black bull was less than thirty at the time, and now it should be more than forty, and my brother and I have reached the age of knowing our fate, and it's hard to say what the general situation will be like when we meet at that time."

Song Jiang was silent for a while before he spoke: "The matter of Liangshan was ruined by Zhang Xianggong, and it is also fate. But since the corrupt officials and corrupt officials have damaged the great Song Dynasty, the Suo captives have invaded, and the people have lost their places, I will follow the way of heaven and save the sky. ”

Seeing that Wu Yong was still hesitating, Song Jiang comforted: "Brother Hugh should be worried. There are three endings in the upper, middle and lower, the upper one is the two of us who took over the Li Kui brothers, resisted the gold thieves outside, killed corrupt officials inside, became a prince, and recruited an army into a feudal town for the imperial court. ”

"The middle one is that Li Kui's brother is unusable, whether he ignores our brotherhood or his subordinates are unusable, we will assist Zhang An to pacify and destroy him, make meritorious deeds, and seek a career."

"Below, if everything doesn't go well, we can be a staff member safely. It's no different from the present. ”

Wu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and the two galloped towards Yanzhou, where Du Yan and Li Kui were making trouble. Song Jiang sang in his heart: "If he succeeds in Lingyunzhi one day, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao is not a husband!" ”

Hu Yangeng heard what Zhang Shuye said, sent Song Jiangwu to Jingxi Road, and urged Zhang Shuye to chase the two back, but Zhang Shuye was unmoved. Hu Yangeng said: "The privy is to spend the belly of a villain with the heart of a gentleman. "He can only write a letter to his father-in-law Zhang Qu, asking Zhang Qu to be more careful, and if it is not right, he will cut Song Jiang first."

Subsequently, Hu Yangeng began to reorganize the forbidden army and the box army in Bianliang.

When Wang Yu was the palace marshal, the defenders of Bianliang were expanded into a full 100,000 people, but the good and the bad were mixed, escorting Zhao Chen to the south, Wang Yu took away 70,000 people, and now the 30,000 soldiers of Bianliang, only the 10,000 people directly under the jurisdiction of Huyanzhuo can be regarded as full of Qi, and the soldiers are full of horses, and the remaining 20,000 people are mostly filled with township soldiers and archers.

Moreover, Wang Yu has been elevated for a long time, and these 20,000 people have not been trained at all. Hu Yangeng obtained the military registration of 20,000 people from the Privy Council, carefully checked it, and found that the soldiers in the book were called Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, and almost half of the people on every page were called by this name.

Hu Yangeng comforted himself: "Fortunately, it's only half, and Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu...... There are always a few real people. ”

He asked Gao Lu to rewrite the military register, with Gao Chong as the commander of the reorganization, and asked Hu Yantong to borrow 20 commanders, and transferred a batch of sharp soldiers who were trained in the Beiwei army to reorganize it.

After a busy day, Gao Lu served Hu Yangeng to sleep, the two made intimacy, Hu Yangeng lay on Gao Lu, Gao Lu hugged him, and enjoyed a quiet time.

Gao Lu asked, "My brother is still capable." ”

"How do you ask about this?"

"I'm married to you as a child, and you still don't take care of my brother?"

"Sister Lu, after the king of Bohai County, the captain of Morning Glory, do you still need me to take care of you?" Seeing Gao Lu's unhappy look, Hu Yangeng hurriedly changed his words: "Gao Chong is very capable, he is already a captain of morning glory, but there are good things, I have to help as a brother-in-law, how about recommending him as a captain of the horse and morning glory?" ”

"Lieutenant Niu and Ma, you can figure it out. I really want to make cattle and horses for the Zhao family. "Morning Glory Duwei is the head of the prince's military ministers, and when it comes to the specific situation of Zhao Chen's dynasty, he is directly aimed at the festival. The princess is the princess's husband's officer.

"Does the Queen Mother want to recruit horses again?"

"Yes, the tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth daughters of Emperor Daojun have all reached the age of marriage, and the Queen Mother intends to marry them to young talents."
